533: Chapter 447 Meeting_4 533: Chapter 447 Meeting_4 Su Mo opened the cockpit and jumped out with a flip.
Whether it was people from his own squadron or NCOs from other squadrons watching, they all burst into applause.
Su Mo was also startled as he suddenly realized that, in an attempt to vent his depressive mood, he might have gone a bit overboard in controlling the mecha.
At that moment, Captain Mo Baoke walked up to Su Mo, stretched out his hand and patted Su Mo’s shoulder hard, offering praise insincerely.
Su Mo’s face was full of black lines.
Why was this guy patting him so hard?
Was he settling scores?
“Thank you for the praise, sir.”
“But don’t get too proud.
In fact, your performance is just average at best.
You have to understand that there are too many strong people in this world.
Like me, do you get it?
You need to remain humble.”
Mo Baoke’s old habit kicked in again, never forgetting to suppress Su Mo.
If it had been the usual situation within his own squadron, although many would disagree, they wouldn’t say anything.
But this was the mecha training field, which was attended by many other squadrons.
Among them were officers of the same rank as Mo Baoke.
Some officers, who were more straightforward, couldn’t stand it and spoke up, “Mo Baoke, stop acting like a pro.
With your half-baked skills, do you even qualify to lecture him?
Even with the Iron Guard, I personally couldn’t achieve his scores.”
Instantly, the scene erupted into laughter!
Hearing the laughter and seeing Mo Baoke’s colorful face, Su Mo also felt the urge to laugh, which he struggled gallantly to suppress.
Mo Baoke’s face turned from green to red, but he wasn’t foolish enough to retort to the other officers.
Instead, he glared at Su Mo, and seeing Su Mo’s expression, he felt that Su Mo was mocking him, which made him extremely irritated.
Though deep down he knew that his skills couldn’t match Su Mo’s, it was impossible for him to lower his dignity that much.
He held back his anger and said to Su Mo, “I know you disdain my words, but no matter.
I will show you what Absolute Strength is soon enough and make you realize that what I said is the truth, not the nonsense spouted by those onlookers.”
Su Mo didn’t take Mo Baoke’s words to heart and gave a perfunctory reply.
It was better to humor him, to avoid the man blowing his top and Su Mo becoming an inadvertent target.
“Stop your empty boasting, Mo Baoke.”
Several officers nearby jeered without concern for making a scene.
“You all wait and see, I’ll show you what Absolute Strength means soon enough.”
Mo Baoke flung his hand and then left somewhat awkwardly.
In the observation area, Lin Yixuan looked at Su Mo’s skillful control, his face full of envy.
How great it would be if he had the same level of skill as Su Mo!
At this point, Zhao Bo and the others gathered around Su Mo and asked excitedly.
“Su Mo, you’re so awesome!
Can you teach us a few moves?”
“Cough cough, don’t say that.
We’re comrades, it’s not a matter of who teaches whom, we can share and learn from each other when we have the chance.”
Su Mo was indeed willing to offer guidance to Zhao Bo and his peers.
After all, they were companions who would fight side by side in the future.
Just then, Kolev came over and said, “What are you standing around for?
Lieutenant Su Mo has offered to teach you, so seize this opportunity to learn.
This is valuable experience—it could save your life on the battlefield.”
The others were taken aback before responding excitedly.
Su Mo was caught off guard too and said to Kolev, “This isn’t right, sir.
Teaching should be done by captains like you.”
“Fussy, whoever has the ability should teach.
The monsters on the battlefield won’t care about that, and you don’t need to worry.
Captain Mo Baoke has left; I’ll keep an eye on you guys.”
Kolev replied with a smile, genuinely admiring Su Mo’s piloting skills.
Of course, Kolev wasn’t a fool either; he knew exactly how petty Mo Baoke could be.
“Yeah, Su Mo, please teach us.”
“Alright, everyone get in your mecha!”
Su Mo reluctantly agreed.
Everyone ran excitedly toward their mechas.
Meanwhile, an officer who had been watching nudged his subordinates and scolded, “What are you waiting for?
Get in your mecha as well.”
“Ah, why should we get in our mechas?”
“To follow along and learn!
That guy’s skills are nearly on par with the generals’.
When do you ever see a general coming down to teach personally these days?”
“But we’re not from their team.”
Ever heard of sitting in on a class?”
Soon an amusing scene unfolded, as swarms of training mechas gathered around.
For a moment, Su Mo was scratching his head, overwhelmed with embarrassment.
